    Oh my fuck.

    get out

    get the fuck out, Biden

    You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.

      No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”

          It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.

          Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.

            Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.

          It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.

          Agreed.

          It’s wild that Biden’s arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.

            He’s probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.
